R.E.

Religious education provokes challenging questions about the meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about faith, issues of right and wrong and what it means to be human.

At Lacey Green Primary Academy the RE curriculum aims to give the children in our care knowledge and understanding of several principal religions, namely Christianity and Judaism in Key stage 1 with Islam, Judaism and Christianity in Key Stage 2. Other religions are more lightly embraced through their seasonal celebrations and class topic themes, including Sikhism and Hinduism. RE is taught within a local, national and global context. The foundation stage traditionally includes the Christian festivals of Christmas and Easter.

Our school RE curriculum offers children opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual development. It considers the influence of religion on individuals, families, communities and cultures.

The school recognises the Cheshire Agreed Syllabus which includes:

AT1 Learning about Religion

AT2 Learning from Religion

In Learning about Religion children learn about different beliefs and teachings, practices and ways of life and how religions express themselves in different ways.

Here is the Lord's prayer which many Christians know.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass Against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power
